## The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani:  
Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Southern California

A broken bone can leave you in pain, out of work, and with a pile of medical bills. Healing can take time and requires continuing care. At the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani, our [personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles](/) specialize in cases involving broken bone injuries.

A broken bone or fracture can puncture the skin in severe cases. Bone breaks often directly result from a sudden, traumatic event such as a car accident or slip and fall. The four most commonly broken bones include the collarbone (clavicle), arm, wrist, and hip. The humerus (upper arm bone), radius, and ulna (lower arm bones) are most vulnerable in the arm. The pelvis, femur, and femoral head (the bone structure that fits in the hip socket) are vulnerable during hip injuries, while various small bones of the wrist may be damaged by a fall or impact. A broken bone injury may heal with few lasting effects. It can also cause damage that, in combination with a severe fracture, can have lasting consequences.

If you or a loved one has been hurt, the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani can help, especially if another party’s actions or negligence are to blame. Starting with a free consultation, we can build a case and fight to get you proper compensation. There are no fees unless your case wins.

## How Is a Broken Bone Treated?

Treating a broken bone quickly is important in any situation. If it is an open break, emergency surgery is required to correct the offset bone and close the wound. Delayed treatment for any broken bone injury increases the risk of long-term complications such as impaired movement, pain, and a variety of health issues.

With or without treatment, a broken bone fracture can cause:

*   Internal Bleeding
*   Skin Lacerations
*   Punctured Organs
*   Nerve Damage

*   Muscle Damage
*   Blood Clots
*   Blood in Organs
*   Diminished Range of Motion

Recovery time can range from weeks to months, depending on the bone fractured, the severity of the break, and other associated injuries. Treatment may require surgery and often requires a cast or other equipment to hold the bone together, while activity may need to be limited for some time. You will likely incur medical bills throughout this process. Your broken bone must be stable enough to tolerate normal activity, which can mean being out of work.

If you’ve suffered a broken bone injury in a car accident, you may be entitled to more financial compensation than you think. Insurance companies often aggressively challenge accident claims, but the Law Offices of Jacob Emrani can prevent them from making a lowball offer. If you or a loved one has suffered a broken bone at the hands of an at-fault driver or other party, our serious injury attorneys can negotiate a fair settlement or take your case to trial.
